SBA Emerging Leaders Initiative
Press Release: SBA Launches 2014 Emerging Leaders Initiative
Blog: SBA Launches 2014 Emerging Leaders Initiative to Help Small Businesses Reach the Next Level of Growth
The SBA Emerging Leaders Initiative is a federal training initiative that specifically focuses on executives of businesses poised for growth in historically challenged communities. The initiative provides these executives with the organizational framework, resource network, and motivation required to build sustainable businesses and promote the economic development within urban communities.
SBA's outreach in these communities has resulted in entrepreneurial success that generates new jobs, attracts investment, and provides a more sustainable economic base in distressed areas. The Emerging Leaders Initiative has aided over 2,000 small business owners in sustaining and growing their businesses.The results of the Initiative show significant employment growth among participating companies with over 1940 new full-time employees. Participants accessed over $20M in new financing since graduating the program. In addition, participants have secured federal, state, local and tribal contracts with a cumulative total of nearly $300 million. This figure has increased each year since the initiative's inception.
Training Overview
Over the course of seven months, participants are given the opportunity to work with experienced mentors, attend specialized workshops and develop connections with their peers, city leaders, and the financial community. Recruitment for the Emerging Leaders Initiative occurs on an annual basis, beginning in February and classes typically begin in April. The Initiative incorporates a curriculum that is research-based and nationally scalable (expanding from 10 to 27 communities since 2008), enabling participating businesses to engage in focused development and expansion strategies, including options for accessing new capital and securing government contracts.
Government statistics confirm that underserved small businesses are the engines of sustained economic growth and job creation. Small businesses in underserved cities added close to three times as many jobs to their local economies as large companies over the last decade. SBA launched the Initiative to capitalize on this proven capacity for stimulating jobs and growth in America's cities.
Eligibility and Requirements
The Emerging Leaders Initiative is an intensive executive-level series intended to accelerate the growth of high-potential small businesses in America's underserved cities. Developed by SBA and drawing on the experiences of advisors and business leaders in urban communities across the country, this comprehensive curriculum provides the tools to catapult your company to the next level and help it emerge as a force in your community.
Do I qualify to participate?
This training is for established business owners and is not for start-ups or people who are thinking about starting a business. The Emerging Leaders Initiative advanced training series is open to small business owners and executives that:
- Have annual revenues of at least $400,000
- Have been in business for at least 3 years
- Have at least one employee, other than self
What are the key program highlights?
- Customized training for "C" (CEO, COO, etc.) level executives with demonstrated business sustainability of at least 3 years in business and annual revenue of at least $400K
- Participant recruitment begins in February through SBA's local district offices and classes typically begin in April
- A three-year strategic growth action plan with benchmarks and performance targets to help the participant emerge as self-sustaining businesses that creates jobs and build communities
- Includes 100 + hours of professional specialized training and peer-to-peer counseling delivered over the course of seven months
Specialized areas of training include:
- Growth Strategies Plans
- Financing and Access to Capital
- Government Contracting
- CEO Mentoring
What types of businesses participate in the program?
There are currently no restrictions on the types of businesses that can participate. Some examples of participating businesses include: manufacturers, retail/wholesalers, contractors, professional services and food service.
In what ways does the training help my business?
The training is specifically designed to stimulate and support the expansion of your business. The curriculum provides strategies to help you access new avenues of capital. It offers practical tools to pursue new paths for business development. It surrounds you with a network of government resources and local business leaders prepared to invest time and energy in your business.
What are the overall benefits of participation?
The end result of the executive education prepares and encourages small businesses to move to the next level on their growth trajectory and to help them emerge as self-sustaining businesses that create jobs and build communities. At the conclusion of the training, entrepreneurs produce a three-year strategic growth action plan with benchmarks and performance targets that will help them access the necessary support and resources to move forward.
Is participation in the Emerging Leaders Initiative free?
YES! The only cost is your time and commitment to complete the curriculum over the course of seven months. All other costs are covered by SBA and our local partners.
How do I sign up?
Business executives interested in participating should complete the online registration form. For registration follow up questions, contact your local participating SBA District Office.

You, "thought Jewish people had gooples of morals and ethics"? Oh but wait, you were "wrong"! So, can we safely assume from your thoroughly ignorant post that you not only dislike a guy you have never met because of something you read in the tabloids, but that you have concluded from your well researched study, that the Jewish people do not in fact have any "gooples of morals and ethics"?
Great job here buddy.

Who the hell are you questioning what he does and who he sleeps with?What business is it of yours?Is it affecting you at all,or are you just so f-ing perfect that you can decide who should be sleeping with who?
Maybe instead of being such a judgemental doshbag,you should work on your own issues.It's very obvious that you're an ignorant type who thinks that your sht doesn't stink,and NOTHING could be further from the truth.
While you're at it,why don't you find a nice non-jewish football team to root for,you don't deserve to be a fan of the greatest franchise in the NFL and it's well respected owner.

Progeria is a sad, sad thing -- it's very rare but very visible for those who suffer from it. I've had the pleasure of meeting Sam's family on a few occasions and they are very dedicated to finding a cure and they are quality people. There is a foundation started by Sam's family -- located in MA -- it's very grass roots. Look up the Progeria Research Foundation if you want to know more.
I find it beyond bad taste for anyone to belittle someone for the amount money that they donate to a cause. Instead of wasting your time being a complete prat on a message board why don't you actually make a positive contribution to something? If you knew anything about anything you'd also realise that the Krafts donate a significant amount of money to a lot of other charities. Typical point the finger and complain as you sit silently on the sidelines while everyone else is doing something positive.

You can love Kraft all day long. I started disliking him when he was about to move the team to Connecticut. I dislike him now because of the prices he charges for football.
What has he done for you? (Don't credit any on the field stuff to him. That was someone else.)

I don't normally criticize other posters but Not-A-Shot, you were out of line in your original post and you are not improving matters by perpetuating the dialog.
And anyone who actually knows anything about the Connecticut piece knows Kraft never intended to move the team here. It was a negotiating device - nothing more and nothing less and it is something that goes on in the business world all the time.

Name one owner with a new stadium since the mid 90's that did not charge PSL on top of the season ticket price.
Houston ?
Yes the base price of a Pat's ticket is high but at least he didn't shake his season ticket holders down for a premium to have the rights to the season ticket.

[/QUOTE]Absolutely agree ATJ. Unfortunately, some of the BDC Posters here only have the ability to write negative stuff. Now, I'm not talking about criticizing a bad play here or there, or a draft pick bust here or there, or especially a poorly played game, but when the vast majority of posts are negative by certain posters, I choose not to read them and or eventually just put them on Ignore.
For those who might think I only want to read positive things that's not true. What I'm talking about is some of the posters who even if the Patriots win the next Super Bowl, they would be complaining about plays that the Pats should have made and didn't or complaining that they should have won by more points. Then there are those posters who also would criticise arguably the best owner in the NFL for reasons that have nothing to do with football. Of course these people have the right to be as negative as they want to be. But I have the right not to read their constant barrage of negative energy - so I don't.

Ainge not looking to upgrade at PG spot
|Posted by shawn cassidy on February 1, 2013 at 6:00 AM
Some more of the same from Ainge.
"Well, not right now. There's a lot of reasons why we're not just jumping out and doing something right now," Ainge told WEEI. "I mean, there really is nobody that you're going to find to replace Rondo, obviously, through trade or through free agent acquisition at this time of year with our (financial) inflexibility. But I think that we like the guys (we have). I mean, (Leandro) Barbosa's been dying for a chance to play and Jason Terry and Avery (Bradley) playing some more point position. I think all of those guys are looking for an opportunity, so I think it's a chance for us to see those guys play without Rondo playing and just see what they're capable of doing."
Speculation mounted once news of Rondo's injury spread that Ainge would look to make drastic changes to the Celtics' roster. Ainge has since downplayed those thoughts, and noted Thursday that while the team will explore some potential changes, it doesn't "feel pressured" to make any moves at this time.
"So, first of all, whether we win every game or whether we struggle, I think it all depends on what opportunities are presented," Ainge said. "So we are open and listening and we'll have discussion in regarding a lot of different possibilities, but we don't feel pressured to do anything. I think that we want to make some change to help improve our team as we always do, but we don't feel pressured to."
It wouldn't be a Celtics season if Danny didn't have to deal with the trade questions. I think his statement has been the same since 2009. My thoughts of Danny have changed in the past year. He slowly won me over. The Perk pill has been easier to swallow, not really. But Danny had to make the move, because the owners wanted him to. The Celtics need a big first in my book. What do you think? Point guard or center?

Country Analysis Note
- Chad ranks as the tenth-largest oil reserve holder among African countries, with 1.5 billion barrels of proven reserves as of January 1, 2013, according to the Oil and Gas Journal.
- Crude oil production in Chad was an estimated 115,000 barrels per day (bbl/d) in 2011 and 105,000 bbl/d in 2012. Almost all of this was exported via the Chad-Cameroon Pipeline.
- The China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) and the Chadian government jointly constructed the 20,000 bbl/d N'Djamena refinery, and it began supplying the local market with petroleum products in 2011. However, operations have occasionally been temporarily suspended in the past due to price disputes and operational issues.
- Petroleum is the only hydrocarbon that Chad consumes. Traditional wood fuel is the primary source of total energy consumption in the country.
- Very few households in Chad have access to electricity. The country has installed electric generation capacity of 31 megawatts that is thermal-powered using refined oil products.

James Cameron is not hiding from authorities in his ex-wife's house in Hallowell, Maine's U.S. marshal said Wednesday.
Barbara Cameron's house was searched Tuesday as "one of several options we're pursuing," said U.S. Marshal Noel March. "We're exhausting all resources and examining all options."
U.S. marshals are leading the nationwide search for Cameron, who cut off his electronic monitoring bracelet and fled from his house in Rome last week after a court upheld seven of 13 child pornography convictions against him.
Cameron received a 16-year prison sentence in March 2011 but was released five months later pending his appeal of his convictions.
U.S. marshals say he fled from his house in Echo Valley Estates in Rome on the night of Nov. 14 or early the next morning -- within hours of the federal court ruling upholding seven convictions.
On Tuesday, marshals and local authorities searched Barbara Cameron's home on Greenville Street in Hallowell. March said Barbara Cameron consented to the search, which ended around 4 p.m.
James Cameron, formerly the state's top drug prosecutor, went to the house on the afternoon of Nov. 14, just after he learned of the court ruling, according to court papers.
Barbara Cameron reported that her ex-husband told their son he was going back to prison, and that it appeared he was not doing well, the court papers said.
March wouldn't say whether Cameron's knowledge of the legal system as a former prosecutor complicates marshals' hunt.
"You could presume that he has more legal expertise than the average citizen," he said. "I don't know if he's smarter than the average bear. We're pretty good at this."
March said that if Cameron is following news accounts of the hunt for him, "I'm hopeful that he'll end this pursuit on his own and contact us at 780-3355 to arrange his surrender into custody peacefully."

Boston >Food & Dining > Kaya Restaurant
581 Boylston St, Boston, MA | Directions 0211642.350311 -71.076599
Daily 11:30-1
Neighborhoods: Back Bay, Back Bay East
Japanese-Korean restaurant provides the Back Bay with a calming dining destination. – In Short
With a dark wooden sushi bar and plenty of Asian touches, Kaya maintains a welcoming atmosphere. The menu ranges from lightly fried tempura to an extensive selection of fresh sushi. Fans of Korean fare dine on versions of bulgogi and bibimbap, while those looking for a kick devour plates of piquant stir-fried squid in red-pepper sauce. Cooling desserts like green-tea ice cream are available as well.
Worst Dinner In My Life – Food - sushi was not fresh, babimbap was barely edible. soup was ok.
Ambience - the restaurant looked nice but smelled like foot odor.
Service - glum looking waitstaff w/ unfriendly attitude.
Value - i wouldn't eat here for free. without a doubt, this is the worst food i've had in years.
Overall - recommend this restaurant to people that you hate. very disappointing experience. simply put, this restaurant is horrible.
We need a better alternative – Kaya was the only Korean restaurant in Boston for a while. And bc of the lack of competition, it's standards have really gone down. For instance, the naengmyon broth is made with anchovy powder, and not beef broth, which is a sacrilege. The service is generally poor, and they need to improve their side dishes.
I thought it was pretty good – Ate here about a year ago and thought the food & service were pretty good. Don't remember if the price was so stiff; tend to recall it was about average compared to the area's other Korean restaurants. Wonder why some people had such bad experience..
User review by browniesprinkles – This place didn't have good korean food at all and for its price it was kind of ridiculous. The Sushi didn't look fresh but my friend said it tasted okay. Most of us didn't even finish our foods. The waitress however was nice and the atmosphere was alright. Don't think i'll ever come back here again
Average – Food here is only so-so. But for the price, it's bad. It's expensive and I would expect better food. The kalbi is not that flavorful. Never had the sushi though but I've seen other people order it and it's not that fresh. The pork bulgolgi was alright, the spiciness covers any other flavors so it doesn't matter.
Terrible – I do not know how this restaurant got this kind of rating. Korean food here is horrible and expensive. To take a person who is not familiar with Korean food here is the fastest way to turn those unfamiliar away from Korean food. Japanese food here is at best BAD. Why go here if you can go to O'Sushi over at Westin?? Do NOT GO HERE!
Nice n' Spicy – Everything said about it in the editorial review is true. The only thing I would add is that you have to try the soups there, especially the spicy one with shrimp. Great place
Great sushi and atmosphere! The separate rooms are extremely relaxing!

London 1940… The Blackout… a siren sounds...
New Adventures' new production of CINDERELLA is a thrilling and evocative journey through London during the Second World War. Matthew Bourne's interpretation of Prokofiev's haunting score has, at its heart, a true wartime romance. A chance meeting results in a magical night for Cinderella and her dashing young RAF pilot, together just long enough to fall in love before being parted by the horrors of the Blitz.
First seen in the West End in 1997, but now completely revised, this brand new production is created to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the London Blitz. It features design by Lez Brotherston who won an Olivier award for his original designs, and new lighting designs by Neil Austin. Cinderella will be performed in Surround Sound, designed by Paul Groothuis. Featuring a specially commissioned new recording of the score, New Adventures will create a cinematic experience, taking the audience into the heart of Prokofiev's magnificent music and the sound world of war-torn London.
CINDERELLA is both a tribute and a testament to the spirit of London during a time when every second counted and lives were changed forever. Bourne's vivid storytelling has never been more heart-stopping and touching, creating a unique and unforgettable depiction of a familiar and beloved fable.
The most striking aspect of this re-telling of the Cinderella story is the setting. Why did you choose to set the world's most famous fairy tale during the London Blitz in 1940?
I first fell in love with Prokofiev's score through watching Frederick Ashton's version of the ballet for The Royal Ballet. Although composed as a fairy-tale piece, in the style of the great Tchaikovsky ballets, such as "The Sleeping Beauty", it has Prokofiev's particular 20th century musical personality stamped all over it. True, it has Grand Waltzes, Fairy variations, mazurka's and "national" dances, in the manner of Tchaikovsky's most famous ballet works, but lurking beneath the fairy-tale magic, there beats a darker heart with real emotions and dramatic longing. These are the features of Prokofiev's music that keep you coming back for more and which insinuate their way inside you with every listening. Prokofiev's Cinderella was premiered at the Bolshoi in 1946 and Ashton's much performed version followed in 1948, but I was intrigued to hear that Prokofiev had actually written the score during the Second World War, and this got me thinking. Was this dark period in our history, somehow captured within the music? I felt that it was, and the more I delved into the Cinderella story, it seemed to work so well in the wartime setting. Darkly romantic in tone, it speaks of a period when time was everything, love was found and lost suddenly and the world danced as if there was no tomorrow.
When I first created the piece in 1997, I attempted to choreograph the entire Three Act score with no re-ordering or cuts. This was in no small part due to the fact that Prokofiev's artist son, Oleg, had asked if he could come to rehearsals and sketch the dancers. Although, I was wary of making any changes to his Fathers music, whilst he was in the room with us, he, of course, turned out to be a delightful man, full of enthusiasm for what we were doing, even saying how much his Father would have loved our interpretation. I have since made a few small cuts and revisions, to help our story, but am proud to say that our Act Three remains completely intact, full of wonderful music that Ashton had cut from his famous version.
My guiding light with this production has always been the incredible Powell and Pressburger classic "A Matter Of Life and Death" (1946) starring David Niven and Kim Hunter. Niven's character, Peter Carter, an RAF Pilot, miraculously survives almost certain death when his plane crashes into the sea. It soon becomes clear that he has cheated death and the Heavenly agents and Angels have made a mistake. He hovers between life and death, but guided by a male guardian Angel, and the woman he loves, he is given a second chance. In essence he is saved by the power of love. My Cinderella does not tell this exact story, by any means, but its fanciful, and particularly English whimsy and romance is, I hope, captured in our story of wartime love and conflict. Our "Angel" is also male, rather than the usual "Fairy Godmother", but he is based more on Cary Grant ("The Bishops Wife" 1947) and Fred Astaire, who played a dancing angel on several occasions.
Look out also for glimpses of other classic movies in the production, such as Celia Johnson and Trevor Howard from "Brief Encounter" (1945) in our final Railway station scene, and the Prostitutes from the Vivien Leigh and Robert Taylor classic "Waterloo Bridge" (1940) in our London Underground sequence. I must also pay tribute to one of my favourite 40's actresses, Joan Crawford, who inspired Lez Brotherston and myself to create Sybil, our glamorous Stepmother.
How historically accurate is your "Blitz" Cinderella. Does it refer to any actual incidents that took place in London at the time?
We have tried to be as accurate as possible and Lez Brotherston, the company and I have spent many hours researching the period and characters through old movies, documentaries and public information films. I will admit, here to at least one historical inaccuracy, though. We do have a GI American soldier character called "Buster", who I couldn't resist putting in for the sake of variety. The Americans, however, did not enter the war until the beginning of 1942.
The crucial incident for us is the famous bombing of the legendary Café de Paris on 8th March 1941. On this particular night, the club received a direct hit, killing or seriously injuring nearly 100 dancing couples, cabaret artistes and staff, including the 26 year old bandleader, Ken "Snake-hips" Johnson. Our magical Act Two bombed ballroom, with its ghostly dancing couples and the haunting waltzes of Prokofiev, owes much to this tragic night. It represents Cinderella's dream, as well as her nightmare
The "war-time" setting has obviously been retained but our original production has been completely lost, and Lez and I have had a chance to take a fresh look at the piece from every angle. This is essentially a new production created to tour throughout the UK and beyond. It is designed very much like a silver screen classic in Black and White (and Grey!) and the magic and colour is added through the lighting designs of Neil Austin. Lez is always very thorough when it comes to period designs and therefore our costume designs are a mix of the everyday wear of ordinary Londoners and servicemen and women, as well as the more flamboyant designs of 1940's movie stars. It beautifully captures the realism of our "darkest hour" along with the escapism and glamour of Hollywood.
As I have said, my original idea to create this Blitz Cinderella came from the particular power, foreboding and magic of Prokofiev's score. I was also drawn to its cinematic quality and how this related to the films that were inspiring the project. I wanted both the power of a full orchestra, along with the sounds and feelings of a full cinematic experience. I spoke to our sound designer, Paul Groothius, on how we might achieve this and he suggested that we present the production in surround sound. To create that Cinema experience we felt that Cinderella was the production on which to experiment with this exciting idea.
Earlier this year, our regular conductor, the brilliant Brett Morris, guided an 82-piece orchestra, through a beautiful and highly theatrical new interpretation of the score, which will be heard in the theatre much like you would hear a great score at the cinema. Add to this the sounds and atmosphere of war-torn London and we have a thrilling aural as well as visual performance.
Its something I have wanted to do for a very long time. Ever since we had the chance to re-work the production for LA in 1999, I have wanted those revisions to be seen in the UK. New Adventures now has a very loyal and ever-growing audience, not just in London, but also throughout the UK. Many of our audience have not had the chance to see it, and with the 70th anniversary of the Blitz falling this year, it seemed like the perfect time to create this new production with the current generation of New Adventures dancers. Infact most performances of our run at Sadler's Wells and our UK tour, are the anniversary of a particular night of the Blitz. I dedicated the original production of Cinderella to my grandparents, who kept their families together, in London, during the Blitz. My parents living streets away from each other in the East End, survived the nightly onslaught, i'm happy to say, and they both loved to tell me stories from this time; the excitement, the fear and the friendships made.
Now they are all gone, but I hope that, the spirit and courage of not just my family, but of everyone who made sacrifices, or who found or lost love during this time are captured in this piece, which has been made in tribute to them.

Rated 3 out of 5 by CRAPPIENATOR decent tubes I dont use these tubes anymore but not because they are bad, just cause ive found a better tube. These tubes have a good design and pretty vivid colors but the salt impregnation is pointless because after the first couple dips all the salt falls off (dont know what the point is anyway). So all I can say is that these arnt bad tubes but unless you could find something better then its a fairly decent buy. February 18, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Coyote419 Not impressed I recently bought a pack of these and was not impressed with the quality. Most of the tentacles were fused together--much more so than other brands I have used. I'll stick with BPS or Southern Pro tubes. July 11, 2012

This guidance document is one of a series produced with the support of the 2010 Biodiversity Indicators Partnership (2010 BIP) to assist Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) to track their progress towards the 2010 Biodiversity Targets. The Wild Bird Index has been selected as one of the indicators suitable for assessing progress towards and communicating the 2010 target at the global level. The aim of this document is to provide guidance to support the calculation and interpretation of the Wild Bird Index at the national and regional scales.
Resource Type: Reports
Th is report summarises the experiences and lessons learnt from the 2010 Biodiversity Indicators Partnership (2010 BIP), as well as providing details of 27 global indicators developed in support of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD)'s 2010 Biodiversity Target.Resource Type: Reports
This synthesis focuses on estimates of biodiversity change as projected for the 21st century by models or extrapolations based on experiments and observed trends. The term "biodiversity" is used in a broad sense as it is defined in the Convention on Biological Diversity to mean the abundance and distributions of and interactions between genotypes, species, communities, ecosystems and biomes. This synthesis pays particular attention to the interactions between biodiversity and ecosystem services and to critical "tipping points" that could lead to large, rapid and potentially irreversible changes. Comparisons between models are used to estimate the range of projections and to identify sources of uncertainty. Experiments and observed trends are used to check the plausibility of these projections. In addition we have identified possible actions at the local, national and international levels that can be taken to conserve biodiversity. We have called on a wide range of scientists to participate in this synthesis, with the objective to provide decision makers with messages that reflect the consensus of the scientific community and that will aid in the development of policy and management strategies that are ambitious, forward looking and proactive.Resource Type: Reports

The best advice my father ever gave me
Advice comes from every corner of our lives, but there's something about guidance from our fathers that can resonate for a lifetime. In honor of Father's Day, we asked five University of Phoenix faculty members to tell us about the most meaningful advice their dads ever gave them. Here's what they shared:
"My father told me, 'Always remember that you're a product of your environment.' He meant I should surround myself with what I wanted to do or be in life, because success is something I can have control over.
"He was right. I wasn't a great student, so I hung around with people smarter than me. Even now, I've surrounded myself with people with doctoral degrees, and now I'm in the doctoral program. This rule worked in reverse, too. When I was younger, if I put myself in a bad situation, guess what. Bad things happened. So I've continued to surround myself with scholars."
—Janeen Dahn, assistant dean, College of Nursing
"My dad was a big proponent of thinking before you speak. He'd say, 'Don't blurt out the first thing that comes to your mind; consider the situation.' This came in handy when I went into law enforcement, where you sometimes have to act quickly and speak calmly while something disastrous is happening.
"My father also taught me never to leave the driveway without putting on my seat belt. When I first started driving, if he was in the car and I didn't put on my seat belt, he'd take the keys and make me get out and walk to school. And we lived on the edge of town, a mile from school!"
—Franzi Walsh, associate dean, College of Criminal Justice and Security
"When things went wrong, my father used to always say, 'Don't worry about everything; nothing will be all right.' It sounds funny, but I knew he meant, 'Don't worry about the small stuff; it's all immaterial.' It's one of the sayings I use in the office, with my staff. It gives some levity to the situation, but it also makes people think, 'Hey, things could be worse.'"
—James Ness, PhD, dean, College of Criminal Justice and Security
"My father communicated by action rather than words. And the best lesson I learned watching him is that providing for your family is most important, and pursuing higher education is the best way to do that. My parents surrounded us with their friends, all of whom placed a premium on education, and they made it known that going to college wasn't an option; it was an expectation. It's something that's served me well."
—Jaseon Outlaw, PhD, assistant dean, College of Social Sciences
"My dad insisted that his children learn to treat all people, from all walks of life, with the same respect. I live my life based on what he taught us — I treat everybody the same, no matter who are they are or what they do. It makes me happy to be a role model for my daughter in this way because it's her grandfather's legacy."
—Alisa Fleming, associate dean, School of Business

Over the last few weeks, town hall meetings have turned into demonstrations against President Obama's nationalized healthcare reform proposals. From every corner of America, citizens are standing up to their elected leaders and expressing frustration at the role of the federal government. In fact, it's been so intense that some elected officials have cancelled town hall meetings or not had them at all.
What do the following have in common? Keep in mind, they could all be happening right now as we speak.
Two middle-aged women are at a hospital. One woman is being told by her doctor that her cancer is in remission. The other woman, who's just across the hall, is being told she has only six months to live.
Complete this sentence: "If I was _______, then I'd truly be blessed and happy."
Time's up and pencils down.
Now, forget your answer for a moment and lend me your ears…or, in this case…eyes.
No matter what the answer is, we're always trying to find true happiness; that light at the end of the tunnel where life and all its oddities make perfect sense. It can span a number of topics: health and well being, building of faith, that perfect soul mate, a position as a C.E.O. with a multi-million dollar income.
The Cash for Clunkers program has worked so well it is broke. The four-month program went broke in four days by giving away our tax dollars to help the auto industry it now owns.
So, the government that can't run a Cash for Clunkers wants to run a government healthcare program?
Obamacare sounds like it will take some patients off the road with, as the president calls them, those tough "life-ending" decisions that could save $500 billion in Medicare costs.
Healthcare has been all the talk in our nation's capitol the last few weeks.
The summer before college sounds like it could get pretty wild.
It's really the last chance you have to wreak havoc in your hometown and not take on full "adult-like" responsibility for those actions, especially if you're under 18. Even though by this time you have graduated and have allegedly earned more respect; most people are left to think that some people just never grow up.
One evening while taking my puppies outside to do their, as I, and other dog owners, only know how to call it, "evening ritual," I noticed something I hadn't seen in a long time: A lightning bug, a.k.a. firefly, was fluttering around the backyard. Suddenly, there was another, then another, then, before I knew it, there were five altogether.
Why did this impress me so much?
Lately, some officials in Campbell County have displayed behavior ranging from impractical to downright preposterous. Their conduct has risen to such a level that I wonder why they ran for office to begin with.
An example of the unfeasible behavior was at a recent LaFollette City Council meeting. A council member made the suggestion to have an employee, who was off work due to a medical problem, conduct an investigation into a personnel matter. Essentially, the council member wanted to have someone, too ill to work, look into a stressful, highly contested, hot button issue.
I'm not usually candid when it comes to certain personal and deep facets about my life to my readers. However, there are some things I don't care to share with anyone, especially when they teach a valuable lesson like this one.
When I was in my teens and early 20s, I wanted nothing more than to simply belong. I didn't care who accepted me, just as long as I was accepted. There were those few individuals who truly made a difference in my life and I'm blessed to have known them.
There are two times during a lifetime when our loved ones really get our attention.
Their birth and their death.
Everything else is a journey in between those two events. This goes for all of us.
We are all on a journey through life and uppermost in our minds is the final destination.
Can you endure the journey because you know the destiny?
Where in the world is the Kmart money? It is a question that commissioners and voters alike should be asking.
When the county acquired $700,000 in proceeds from the sale of the building commissioners earmarked the money for industrial development, vowing only to use it when a prime piece of industrial property came along.
Now nearly two years and what seems like a zillion debates later the same group has managed to spend nearly every penny.
Last Friday afternoon, the day before Americans celebrated independence, a bombshell was dropped on the political world.
Sarah Palin, Republican Governor of Alaska, not only announced she would not be seeking re-election, but she also announced that she would be resigning as governor later this month, effective July 26. The announcement stunned all political observers, and the rumors began swirling.
Former U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson once said, "God help us to be grateful for our blessings, never to be guilty of the sin of ingratitude, and to instill this same gratitude into the lives of our children. Someone has said that an ungrateful man is like a hog under a tree eating apples and never looking up to see where they come from."
This week's story comes from something that caught my eye as I was checking my email.

I'm 66 and have decided to take the challenge again! I did it in 2001 and really loved it. Now, my nephew has inspired me to join him in it! We will start on 1/14 so til then I will eat well and get mentally prepared!
Good luck and have fun!
Go, Becca, Go! Tri Tri Again! www.tinyurl.com/rebecca2013
Good to you! !
Oh sorry, good for you!
Thanks for your good wishes! I'm very excited to start again! I work second shift as a nurse and last night being new year's I celebrated by staying up late watching a movie and now I realize that I need more time to work out in the morning so I need to go to bed earlier for the 90 day challenge.
Also, eating junk food late at night is not going to work!
Happy New Year everybody!
I am going to attempt work outs with dumbells only because I live in two places, my city work home and my country home and I need to work out at home. I found a great site googling "dumbells only workouts" that I plan to use.
Way to Go auntruthie and Happy New Year and Welcome back to the BFL Forum and team. Best wishes for your challenge this year and Keep Moving Forward!!
thanks so much! Now if I can just resist the temptations of the old holiday cookies! well, I'll do better tomorrow!

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
When it comes to LCD monitors is bigger really better? We tend to think so! Whether you are buying a monitor for business use, or to hook up your high-definition gaming console, check out our roundup of the best big screen LCD monitors on the market.
Brands include Samsung, ViewSonic, BenQ and Dell, and all monitors are 24in or bigger.
Eizo's ColorEdge CG303W is, quite possibly, the best monitor an artist or designer could hope for. It combines a superb panel, incredibly accurate colour output, and well-conceived controls supported by great software.
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Owning your own stuff
Who's device is it? Just because you bought it doesn't mean you can look inside. But the Internet has plenty of resources for jailbreakers.
First, a personal admission: Embedded Linux generally worries me. Most embedded Linux systems are not very security conscious. Most device makers care more about making stuff work than making stuff secure. To make matters worse, vendors have a tendency to abandon their products leaving you without security updates, and this is especially true for consumer-level devices.

Master Time Machine
Item Number: MM3003
There are only a few tricks in magic as astonishing as this... Wearing this watch, you show and verify the present time to the spectator. After you remove the watch, you then tell the spectator that you are going to make a time prediction by changing the time on the watch. With the back of the watch facing the spectator, the watch is held out in the open showing that the predicted watch time will not be tampered with or readjusted. The spectator is asked to imagine and then announce any time of the day, even to the exact minute. The watch is then handed to the spectator revealing an exact match to the spectator's announced time!

I have e-mailed the Defense Department requesting that they use The "liberal View" and the liberal blather on "THE VIEW" on our enemy prisoners. Tie these prisoners up and make these prisoners watch this liberal drivel. Before very long, prisoners will be screaming at the top of their lungs, "PLEASE HAVE MERCY, NO MORE LIBERAL VIEW. HAVE MERCY, PLEASE NO MORE"
I think Joy Behar is the funniest host on The View. Hasselbeck is the most annoying host on television. I don't think this because she's a Republican, but because she is a blithering idiot. Her political beliefs have nothing to do with it. If they are going to have someone representing Republicans on that show, then why don't they get someone with some poise, who carries themselves like an adult.
The View started going downhill fast when the cooler and more intelligent heads of Lisa and Meredith left. Since then it is indeed a circus, or should I say freak show. Everyone but Elisabeth is so far left and can't or don't care to hide their disdain for and "superiority " over anyone who doesn't share their views. I am so tired of their sour faces and screaming that I can't bear to watch the show anymore. I am a moderate but your idiocy is driving me to the right. Your show is no longer entertaining or watchable. Lighten up ladies, your actions are most unbecoming!
Joy Behar is an idiot. I'm surprised they get any guest on The View. If she likes you she is all smiles and your best
friend. If she doesn't like you she spends the entire interview with a face that would kill. Lighten up Joy the name of your show is The View. Everyone has their own view, it's not just yours. Elisabeth you would be really smart to leave this circus show, your much better then they are.

text: Isn't this boat styled bookcase fun? It was handmade by Dennis, at Poppa's Boats, who makes boat shelving, wine racks, toy and storage boxes, and garden planters and decor. And, since his creations are custom made, I expect you can add a slant of your own to the creative mix. Dennis says his favorite woods are red oak, knotty pine, and cedar. He builds his pieces with screws and glue, no nails, before painting them your choice of color. The shelves and front edges are hand stained. When he's done, paste wax is hand applied for a deep natural looking finish. You have a choice of sizes and prices. This four foot red oak row boat bookcase is $169.95, and that includes shipping to the 48 contiguous states. You can't beat that with a stick. So click on over to Poppa's Boats and check out this wonderful shop.
